When Li Yi came to the printing workshop, he found Pei Qing standing beside a young man, looking at other people's hands with interest.

The young man had a delicate eyebrow and a flushed face, and from time to time he glanced at her secretly, and his hands were constantly fiddling with tools, as if he was carving small wooden blocks.

And Pei Qing always lowered her head, spoke to the young man slowly and logically in her unique delicate tone, and inadvertently pinned the broken hair falling from her ears behind her ears with her slender jade fingers.

And look at the teenager, it looks like he will have a nosebleed at any moment.

When the delicate young man stole to look at Pei Qing again, Li Yi walked behind her.

"Princess." He called out in a cold voice.

Pei Qing was explaining the key points of movable type printing to Chen Tu just now, and she was talking seriously, completely unaware that there was an extra person behind her.

Hearing Li Yi's voice, she subconsciously raised her head, turned around and bumped into his emotionless eyes.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

Li Yi looked at the people in the workshop, and then whispered to her, "It's about the script." ”

Got in touch with Huang Haoshang so quickly?

This was a bit unexpected for Pei Qing, so he encouraged Chen Tu a few more words, and then turned around and walked out with Li Yi.

Before leaving, Li Yi stared at the delicate young man as if he was wrong, and clearly saw that the young man's eyes were burning when he looked at Pei Qing's back.

As soon as the face towel on his face moved, Li Yi retracted his gaze and thoughtfully followed Pei Qing out of the workshop.

Pei Qing walked neither fast nor slow, everyone gave up everywhere she went, and they would definitely kneel and bow in the past, but after she set the new rules, people changed to bow their hands, and their respect for her was better than kneeling.

She didn't stop, walked all the way back to the garden building of the palace, and after asking Ah Xing to make tea, she asked Li Yi to sit down across the table, and the two sat opposite each other.

"Huang Haoshang's reply is fast enough." She asked Li Yi with relief, "You are worthy of being a businessman." ”

After she finished speaking, she found that Li Yi glanced at her quickly, and then glanced at her again.

Pei Qing secretly smiled in her heart.

"But it's our Li Guards who are faster, and we have opened up the sales of the script in such a short time." She smiled and groaned, looking like a pink peach blossom that had just bloomed in early spring, and she was innocent on the surface, so that people couldn't help but fall their eyes on her face.

After saying this, she looked at Li Yi again and observed that his eyes were slightly bent, and the icy feeling just now was replaced by a gentle waterhole.

Pei Qing had a smile on her face, and at this time, Ah Xing brought the brewed tea, she took the empty teacup and poured Li Yi a cup of tea with her own hands.

"Quench your thirst with a cup of tea," she said with a little courtesy, "It's hard work, it's not easy to run this trip, right?" ”

Although Li Yi knew very well in his heart that this was a polite remark, although he knew that she was consciously coaxing him, although he felt that he had seen through the girl in front of him, it did not prevent his mood from becoming happy because of her words.

Li Yi glanced at Pei Qing again, still the same look just now, he took the tea, but he didn't drink it, but held it in his hand.

"The princess said last time that a thousand copies would be printed first, and Huang agreed." He casually swept the tea foam with the tea lid, lowering his eyelashes to hide his eyes.

"......" Pei Qing always felt that the way he looked at her was strange, and she said tentatively, "Did the other party put forward particularly harsh conditions?" It's not going to be delivered to your door, is it? ”

In that case, the cost of each book will soar, which is not in line with the concept of FMCG, because it is not yet known how far away the book will be sent to the city, and the farther it is delivered, the higher the labor cost will be spent on the way, labor, animal power, and travel expenses...... Everything is a cost.

Li Yi held the teacup and muttered, "Not really." The Huang family has a station in Xixian County, and they only need to send the first 1,000 books to the station, and take them away when the Huang family's caravan passes by. ”

Pei Qing's peach blossom eyes were bright and crystalline, staring at his eyes, he said straightforwardly: "But you look as if your things have been robbed, is it really not Huang Haoshang's people who bullied you?" ”

Click.

The sound of a teacup being placed on the table.

Pei Qing saw Li Yi put down the teacup, one forearm on the table, but did not show the palm, but let the palm of the hand be blocked by the table, and the arm on the other side claimed to support his own legs.

"There is only one person who can bully me." "But not Huang." ”

Pei Qing originally asked casually, but she didn't expect him to give this kind of answer, and she couldn't help but feel a little interested, she asked across the table, "Who?" ”

Li Yi glanced at her and didn't speak.

"Say it." Pei Qing urged.

Li Yi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon, and he replied lightly: "It's close at hand." ”

His tone was extremely cold.

Therefore, Pei Qing was stunned for several seconds before reacting.

"Oh......" After reacting, her eyelashes trembled again and again, and she subconsciously shrank back.

But soon, because of his unique tone, the little charm that had just wanted to rise was pressed down by her again.

Pei Qing sat up straight, her slender fingers brushed the hair around her ears, and said casually, "That's not how it should be." ”

As soon as her words fell, Li Yi's forearm on the table was retracted, and his sitting posture returned to righteousness from arbitrariness.

"It should be." He said nonchalantly, "I brought it all on myself." ”

He heard a crisp laugh.

Pei Qing smiled and asked, "Why is this still yin and yang?" Could it be that Princess Ben treated Li Guards badly? ”

Li Yi lowered his eyes and played with the teacup, but did not speak.

"In this way, as long as you help me do something in the future, I can take one-thousandth of it from it." She said unhurriedly, her tone was very similar to his, but a little more mischievous.

Li Yi's face towel moved, and it seemed that he opened his mouth, but he still didn't speak.

Pei Qing tilted his head slightly, chuckled freely and said with a casual chuckle: "Starting from this sale of the vulgar script, no matter what price Huang Haoshang gives, there is one thousandth of you in it." ”

Li Yi was still silent, but his drooping eyelashes were raised, and his eyes reflected a little light from the window lattice, making his pupils deeper and deeper.

I only heard Pei Qing explain: "One thousandth is one in a thousand." ”

"I know, I've read the Han Dynasty's Nine Chapters of Count," he took over indifferently, "I know what a fraction is." ”

Pei Qing: ......

She was a little embarrassed.

I originally thought that fractions were the content of modern mathematics classes, but it turned out that the Han Dynasty had the concept of fractions?

"Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is in the "Ten Books of Arithmetic," Li Yi explained, "and it is still the most important part of it." ”

Pei Qing's face has returned to normal, she has not read many books, and it is not a shame that she has not read ancient mathematical classics, so there is no need to be too embarrassed.

- She went to the system to redeem it when she turned around!

"Speaking of which, Li Guard has even read "Nine Chapters of Counting", and it seems that he is well-educated," Pei Qing had a sweet smile on his face, he couldn't see the embarrassment just now, and said with a little emotion, "Your family background should be very good, right?" ”

Li Yi paused, lowered his eyes to hide the brilliance in his eyes, and replied lightly: "It's the book that the prince ordered me to read." ”

Pei Qing sighed again.

For people in this ancient world, Shinong and industrialist, obviously scholars stand at the upper level of the entire social class, and it is not easy for ordinary people to have the opportunity to read, and the dead ghost prince provided Li Yi with a precious opportunity to read, so it is understandable that Li Yi is so grateful and loyal to the dead ghost prince.

That's weird!

It's just a guard, and he still reads, and he still reads "Nine Chapters of Counting" that ordinary people don't use, and the dead ghost prince is not an ordinary weapon for him, but every time he mentions the dead ghost prince, his tone is light, as if he is mentioning a stranger.

- So, is he a man of action who believes in "just doing but not talking", or is he a perfunctory "duplicity"?

Pei Qing felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to understand this "Li Guard".

Her face turned serious: "When Huang Haoshang's caravan comes, you are responsible for negotiating the price with them, and it is up to you to have more money and less money, if you feel that it is necessary, you can do without money for the first batch of books, and you can grasp this." ”

Li Yi didn't react, didn't he think that the one-thousandth commission was not high enough?

Then he's going to have to take it!

Pei Qing said: "The most important thing is to open up the market, first spread out the market and then make money, in fact, it would be better if I could meet Huang Haoshang, so that I could better understand his pulse." ”

Li Yi said quickly as if reflexively: "He is not in Xi County right now, and it is impossible for him to come to Xi County in the near future." ”

The fine light swept through Pei Qing's peach blossom eyes, and the tails of her eyes rose, so that she looked at people with a little unconscious provocation, and she said, "You know Huang Haoshang's whereabouts very well?" ”

It's even weirder, okay?

A small guard can actually grasp the movements of a wealthy person, where does he get so much energy?

Li Yi was beaten again.

"The prince and Huang are good friends," he explained, "and Huang often writes to learn about the affairs of the former county, so his subordinates will know his movements. ”

Pei Qing's pink lips were curved, her eyes were more radiant, and she was fifty percent sure that the person in front of her was lying.

But she didn't bother to debunk it.

As long as he can open up sales, it doesn't matter how he contacts dealers.

A black cat or a white cat is a good cat if it can catch mice.

"Okay." Pei Qing smiled softly and innocently, "I'll take this as the reason." ”

Li Yi's face towel moved, and this time he could obviously see that he wanted to speak.

But Pei Qing waited and waited, but he didn't wait for his voice.

Is this what he wants to explain further?

But was blocked back by her reaction?

Pei Qing's mind was racing, but his face was silent.

She asked sweetly: "In addition to reading "Nine Chapters of Counting", has Li Weiwei read any other books?" Princess Ben doesn't read much, and she is very envious of those who can read. ”

Li Yi's deep pool-like eyes reflected her jade-white face, showing a small bright light in her pupils, and the folds of his double eyelids deepened slightly, showing that he was particularly focused and deep.

"The princess is playing tricks on me again." He said leisurely.

Pei Qing's eyes widened innocently, and he said softly, "How come?" This princess is obviously asking questions in the open. ”

"......" Li Yi still looked at her with the eyes just now, but said in his mouth, "I think that the princess is knowledgeable and knows too much." ”

It's also deceitful, she looks like she's read a lot of books.

Pei Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, but I am forced to study, unlike Li Guard, who cherishes the opportunity to study as much, Li Guardie is really motivated." ”

She seemed to say something, and she didn't seem to say anything, but invisibly, Li Yi felt that she was being held a little.

Somewhat...... Uncontrollable happiness.

"Princess, why do you do this to everyone?" Li Yi's voice carried a smile that he didn't even notice, "Are you so good at talking in Heavenly Court?" ”

That's why when she went down to earth, she brought such a powerful immortal technique?

Pei Qing replied gently and kindly: "This princess was born like this. ”

She's such a person, does he have an opinion?

Hold on!

Li Yi said at this time: "You are too kind to the little craftsman of engraving, is it necessary?" ”

Pei Qing didn't understand.

"What?" She was stunned for a moment before asking.

Li Yi's voice was a little more depressed, and he said, "It's the kid who got you a piece of wood." ”

"Oh......" Pei Qing didn't seem to understand.

But soon she understood something.

Heh, waiting for her here?

Pei Qing's face turned cold, her lips, which had always been a little soft and sweet, were tensed, the sparkle in her peach blossom eyes was replaced by coldness, she looked directly at the tall man opposite, and the other party looked at her unmoved, as if waiting for her to say something.

"Guard Li, I hope you can realize that the prince is dead." She said coldly, "I am a widow now, I have the right to teach knowledge to anyone, I have the right to be alone with anyone, you have no right to attack me with a dead prince." ”

Li Yi also looked at her coldly, and asked unmoved: "Don't you think you are too close to that young man?" ”

In the next moment, he received a sneer from Princess Rui.

Pei Qing's words were full of ice ballast: "What do you mean, am I also getting too close to you?" Am I going to stay away from all men? Do you want me to kick out all the men in the former county? ”

Li Yi was dumbfounded.

He raised his finger and rubbed the corner of his forehead: "That's not what I meant. ”

Pei Qing smiled stupidly: "That's what you mean!" ”

She slapped the table and stood up, glaring condescendingly: "I tell you, I will not be bound by anyone and anything, this is how I do things, you want to teach me to do things?" How old are you? ”

Li Yi continued to rub the corners of his forehead.

Oops, fried.

He just wanted to remind her to pay attention to her own safety, this world is not so tolerant of women, how can it be in her mouth......

"My bad." Li Yi decisively admitted his mistake, "I shouldn't have said that about you." ”

Pei Qing was still very angry, and shouted coquettishly: "It's your fault!" ”

Li Yi quickly surrendered his hand: "I was wrong, please punish the princess." ”

Pei Qing looked at his arch salute that blocked his face, and was suddenly stunned.

Li Yi's exposed hands have scars all over his hands, almost covering his hands.

Strange, maybe she didn't pay attention before? Did he have so many scars on his hands?
